Meet Days Away Meets- Athletes will stay after in the gymnasium with the coaches. Athletes are expected to work on homework and will not be allowed to wander the building. (Not every athlete will travel to away meets) We expect athletes to ride the bus home. If your athlete HAS to ride home with you you need to email Coach Ogle, Coach Conway, and Mr. Mozingo. Home Meets- Each event coach will communicate whether they want athletes staying after, or what time the athletes will need to report back to school. Staying after in the gym will always be an option if need be for home meets. Athletes need to tell coaches if they are leaving before the end of the meet. Athletes are encouraged to stay to cheer on teammates but may leave once they are finished with their last event if they need to.
